Personal Data Protection Policy

At CORPAMUJER we process personal data of women, families, girls, boys and adolescents in contexts of particular vulnerability. That is why we treat the protection of this information as part of our work, and not merely as a legal obligation.

This policy is adopted in compliance with Law 1581 of 2012, el Decree 1074 of 2015 and other Colombian regulations on the protection of personal data (habeas data).

1. Data controller

CORPAMUJER — Corporation for the comprehensive development of women in the Colombian Pacific.

2. What data we collect

We collect only the data needed to deliver our services and carry out the projects entrusted to us:

  • Through this website: name, email address, phone number and the content of the message you send us.
  • In the delivery of projects: identification and contact details, household composition and any other information required by the contracting institution to profile and follow up on participants.

Sensitive data and data of minors

Some of our programmes require processing sensitive data (for example, information on health, ethnic identity or situations of violence) and data of girls, boys and adolescents. In those cases:

  • You are not obliged to authorise the processing of sensitive data or to answer questions about it.
  • Data of minors is processed always in their best interest, respecting their fundamental rights, and with the prior authorisation of their legal representative.
  • This information is handled confidentially and is known only to the team strictly necessary for the care provided.

3. What we use your data for

  • To answer the requests, questions and messages you send us.
  • To profile, support and follow up on the people taking part in our projects.
  • To meet the reporting obligations owed to the institutions with which we sign agreements and contracts.
  • To respond to requests from administrative and judicial authorities.
  • To send institutional information about our activities, where you have authorised it.

We do not sell, rent out or transfer your personal data for commercial purposes.

4. Your rights as a data subject

Under article 8 of Law 1581 of 2012, you have the right to:

  • Access, update and rectify your personal data.
  • Solicitar prueba de la autorización que otorgó, salvo en los casos en que la ley no la exige.
  • Ser informado sobre el uso que le hemos dado a sus datos.
  • Presentar quejas ante la Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio por infracciones a la ley.
  • Revocar la autorización y solicitar la supresión de sus datos, cuando no exista un deber legal o contractual que nos obligue a conservarlos.
  • Acceder de forma gratuita a los datos que hayan sido objeto de tratamiento.

5. How to exercise your rights

Write to us at corpamujer@gmail.com stating your name, a contact detail, a description of your request and any documents you wish to submit.

  • Enquiries: we answer them within a maximum of ten (10) business days. If that is not possible, we will explain why and give you a new date, which will not exceed five (5) additional business days.
  • Complaints: we answer them within a maximum of fifteen (15) business days. If that is not possible, we will explain why and give you a new date, which will not exceed eight (8) additional business days.

6. Authorisation

By submitting the contact form on this site, or by joining our programmes, you give CORPAMUJER your prior, express and informed authorisation to process your personal data under the terms of this policy. You may withdraw that authorisation at any time through the same channel.

7. Security and retention

We apply reasonable technical, human and administrative measures to protect the information against unauthorised access, loss or misuse. We keep the data for as long as the purpose that generated it requires, and for the applicable legal and contractual periods; once these expire, we delete or anonymise it.

8. Processors and third parties

Some technology providers (web hosting, email and form tools) access the data solely in order to provide us with their service, under our instructions. Where an agreement requires it, we share information with the contracting institution, which acts as an independent data controller.

9. Term

This policy applies from the date of its publication on this website. Any substantial change will be communicated through this same channel. Databases will be kept for as long as necessary for the purposes described.
